Dutch editors collectively prioritized the escalating U.S.-led military campaign against Iran throughout March 3, with Trump's declaration about U.S. weapons for 'eternal war' emerging as the day's most distinctive development. Morning coverage focused on the U.S. calling on citizens to leave the Middle East, attacks on the American embassy in Riyadh, and U.S. justification of the attack as preventive. Early afternoon brought reports of Israel's 100-aircraft attack on Iranian regime headquarters, Hezbollah warnings of 'open war', and tens of thousands of Lebanese fleeing. Evening developments included Iran's frantic search for a new Supreme Leader with the Larijani brothers as favorites, European diplomatic struggles with the war's legality, and KLM flights to evacuate stranded Dutch travelers.
